Gala Concert for 40th anniversary of Folk Artistic Group Promni
Folk group Promni has functioned for forty years at the Warsaw University of Life Sciences inWarsaw. Throughout this time, over thousand students have danced and sung here. The band group was created in 1972 by Zofia Stolarzowa – a prominent activist of the Polish folk movement. Prior to that, there were several attempts to establish the artistic group. When it was finally accomplished, Stolarzowa proposed to call the group Promni, which means “the first ones”. However, the first name of the group was The Folk Theater Group Poturoki. The debut, that is the first performance of the group, took place on 1 March1973 inKlub Ciemna inWarsaw. The presented programme was prepared on the occasion of the thirtieth anniversary of battles of the Peasants’ Battalions.
